Denis Leary Coming Back to FX for Rock Star Comedy

After scoring a huge hit for the network with Rescue Me, Denis Leary will return to FX for a new comedy series entitled Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. The show will star Leary as a middle-aged rock star trying to get the band back together after years of bad choices by all parties involved.

The network initially announced the partnership in January, and today went ahead with a 10-episode series order. John Corbett, John Ales, and Robert Kelly will co-star as Leary’s bandmates in The Heathens, and as you can see from the photo above they will be all decked out in the signature early 1990s look of weirdly-patterned clothes and finely-groomed mullets.

The show is slated to debut sometime in 2015, with Leary serving as an executive producer.
